THOMPSON'S BOOK 'ARCADE • The works of all the leading poets of past and present times are .to be found on the bookshelves at ; THOMPSON'S, Oxford Street, Levin. Spenser's "Faery Queen." Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound," Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Love ; Sonnets, and various other standard ■ works may be quoted. Samples of | the works' of Levin poets, also, may jbe procured at Thompson's. One of > them, who will do better when he J grows older, assures us that— ".Mr Thompson keeps a booksellers shop in Levin— And it is the prettiest bookseller's shop that ever was seen. There's books by galore. If you want a nice little book You can do no better than call At Mr Thompson's Book Arcade. Levin." There were quite a number of Ohau and Levin and Weraroa poets moved to measured praise by tho offer of a prize for the best versified composition. One youthful miss, with a precocious turn for irony, writes:— "There's a stationery shop in Levin you should know, Where all the commonsense peoplp do go. There are a few more who live round about Should visit this shop when'er tlicv are out." After considering various merits and weaknesses in the man.y verses sent in' the judge has deckled to award the prize of five shillings to the following effort:— THOMPSON'S BOuK ARCADE "Of course you all know this place of renown For good quality goods; its the best in the town. Another thing too, the prices are fair, And there's no overcharging or huge proals there; So if you're ever in Levin—this lively little town — Just step into Thompson's and have a quiz round, For they've choice there to distraction, And the result you will find is great satisfaction." JESSTE CAMPBELL. J. W. Thompson BOOK 'ARCADE, LEVIN.
